THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION

Through the goodness of Almighty God,
health peace, prosperity, and security to person

of Wisconsin the past year, and our industries
have received abundant rewards. Because of
these benefits it is due that we reverenty, and
with sincere hearts, return thanks to Him for
His blessings.
Now, therefore, in accordance with the procla-
nation of the President of the United States, L.
jeremiah NJ. Rusk, Governor of the State of Wis
consin, do hereby appoint Thursday, November
%, 1887, as a day of public Thanksgiving and
praise and I recommend that on that day the
people of this State abstain from their usual vo-
cations and meeting in their accustomed places
of worship, return thanks for the innumerable
blessings bestowed upon them by the Supreme
Ruler and that they remember by substantial
benefactons and kindly deeds, the poor and af-
ficted among them.
In testimony whereof, have hereunto set my
hand and caused the GreatS Seal of the
State to be affixed. Done at the Capt.
TsEAL.1 toll in Madison this 9th day of Octo-
Der, in the year of our Lord one thous-
and eight hundred and eighty-seven.

A WATERLOO BOY.

One of the youngest, if indeed not the
very youngest soldier that Wisconsin sem
to the war is native of Waterloo, in this
county, and is thus sketched by S. G.
Conklin, of The Dakotian:
E. w. Foster, assistant general freight
agent of the Chicago & Northwestern rail
way, now in charge of the freight bust
ness of said corporation in Dakota and
Minnesota, west of the Mississippi river,
is marked example of self-made man.
Thrown upon his own resources when a
mere boy, without money and Influential
friends, with no capital but native ability
and Spartan perseverance, he has steadily
and rapidly advanced to the position he
now occupies. He was born in Waterloo,
Wisconsin, in 1S49, and is now but 80
years old. At the age Of IA be enlisted
in the 4th Wisconsin, commanded by
Colonel Ray, of Chicago. After the war
be learned telegraphy and commenced
railroading for the Chicago, Milwaukee
& St. Paul, at $100 per day. Eight
years ago last March he was agent and
operator at Waunakee, one of the most
unimportaDt stations on the Chicago &
Northwestern. In eight years he he has
risen by honest merit to the responsible
position he now holds. He was one of the
early investors of his savings in Gogebic
iron range and is now one of the largest
owners in the Germania mine, and has
also interests in several other good mines
on the range, and is counted among those
who have made fortunes out of iron.

Arthur E. Aspinwall began his school
in District No. 2 last Monday.
l.. E. Goodbout who has been engaged
to teach in District No. 7 of Ixonia, at
$35 per month, entered upon his duties
Monday.
Mrs. P. B. Montague has lost about
thirty hogs in the past few weeks from
what is supposed to be hog cholera. Some
Others have had pigs sick with the same
disease, bot have not lost any.
Chas. Goodbout, who has been very low
of late with pulmonary consumption, is at
present able to sit up for little while at
time.
Rus. Henry, who has been visiting in
Dakota and Illinois for some months, re-
turned few days ago.
We are having delightful weather and
the farmers are improving the time plow-
ing and getting ready for winter.
There is slight mistake in the report
published in The Gazette about B. Smith
having parcel burned by matches. A
package of matches dropped from his
hand and caught fire, but only one box
was destroyed.
The BakertowD cheese factory closed
down last Saturday after quite success
ful season, with Gene Fornicrook, of Con-
cord, as maker.
A good many stock buyers are searching
the country around here for stock. Hogs
are selling at from $500 to Sd 10.
Why not have a farmers club here
this winter, to meet at least twice north
in some of our school houses and discuss
about farming?

The Chicago News, an independent
paper that supported Mr.. Cleveland, COM
plains that there is too much politics in
some of the efforts to secure clemency for
the Haymarket murderers. 1t says :
"When the names of a lot of prominent
politicians of one party like W. G. Cloudy,
S. s. Gregory, S. ?. Mcconnell, |. K.
Boyesen, w. G. Ewing, F. S. Winston,
Potter Palmer and Lyman Trumbull are
found grouped at the end of one petition
on the eve of an election, the public has
the right to draw its own differences. .
The News sees in such petition design
to pose as friends of the oppressed labor
ing classes, and to put the onus of refus-
ing clemency on the Republican party
through their governor.

The Chicago Journal sums up the re-
suit of the late elections 10 nutshell as
follows:
The Endorsement of President Ceve-
land in last Tuesday elections came from
Tammapy Hall, in New York city, and
from two bulIdozed Southern states-Vir-
gina and Maryland Without corrupt
boss rule and without corrupt bulldozer
rule, both of which involve the grossest
frauds on the ballot-box, the Democrats
would not have carried a state i'll the
elections this year.

JUDGE SLOAN takes the sensible view
of the matter When asked if he thought
any trouble would grow out of the execu-
ton of the anarchist murderers, he said
"No; we would have had trouble if the
sentence had not been executed. The
anarchistic class would then have said
the authorities were afraid, aud there
would in all probability have been re-
petition of the troubles of last year. Now
they will see that the authorities are not
to be frightened, and further trouble will
be avoided. There may be sing lie instances
of crankism, but as for any concerted &C
ton there will be nothing of the kind
Furthermore, it leaves the right of free
speech unabridged, but notifies all these
restless classes that they must hold them
selves responsible for what they say"

were found, showing concIusively that
Lingg had exploded dynamite bomb in

One of these pieces is over an inch long

In Fischer's farewell letter to Most, the
anarchist agitator, he says: 81 hope you
may take part in the last final contest.
How readily | would be at your side hold
ing firm on the beloved red standard"
1t appears to have been the impression of
the anarchists that the government of
this country is guilty of grievous out
rage OF inalienable rights when it inter
feres to prevent a band of conspirators
from carrying on an organized system OF
murder and devastation. Lingg said
that he supposed America was free
country," and appears to have have been
surprised that in free country he should
not be allowed liberty to manufacture
bombs with which to exterminate capital
lists and the police.
